Less Is More - Citrus

It has been a wet few days, and the weekend is expected to be stormy as well.  So time to hit the gym, which is not my favorite thing, so I think I will reward myself by making a few more cards this weekend!

We just kicked off another challenge over at Less is More, as this is my first week on the design team!  Yeah!  This week's theme is Citrus (color not necessarily fruit images).  This is a perfect challenge for the first peek of spring that we have been experiencing here--at least before the rain arrived!

Here is my take on the theme.  Come on by and see what others have done!  We hope you choose to play along...



I started my stamping the balloons, and using a mask for the second and third ballon.   I then added the sentiment on the bottom.

I colored the balloon's with copic markers and added a bit of Wink of Stella for some shine.  I added a few stars and dots around the balloons.

To finish off the card, I added a few scraps of paper on some plain white card stock and popped up the main image on foam tape.

Pretty simple!





Supplies:
  • Cardstock:  Neenah Solar White
  • Stamps:  Alley Way Stamps, Lawn Fawn, Paper Smooches
  • Copic Markers
  • Wink of Stella
  • Memento Tuxedo Black Ink
